Hi, my name is Ben

I keep your design, typesetting and accessibility creative

Keep Creative is not just a business name, it's how I work. I deliver great design, typesetting, Microsoft conversion and accessibility compliance services, on time and in budget. I provide support to many design studios and government agencies by collaborating on technical aspects of creative projects and their follow-on requirements.

My focus is in delivering fast, accurate and high quality design and typesetting in the Adobe Creative Cloud product suite, and keep your Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents creative, with compliance to WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards. My abilities bring a new creative dimension for accessible design that delivers the requirements of responsible business and government.

My aim is always to provide excellent service and deliver cost-effective solutions. I strive for the highest quality outcomes with an eye for perfection that help you build your brand and reach your targets.

View my latest work below. I hope you'll see my creativity in the work featured in collaboration with my fantastic clients.

It goes without saying, Adobe Creative Suite (Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, Muse, etc.) and the mainstay for graphic design, and Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint) are exceptionally utilised with a great degree of skill
